A two-point boundary value problem on a Lorentz manifold arising in A. Poltorak's concept of reference frame

In A. Poltorak's concept, the reference frame in General Relativity is a certain manifold equipped with a connection. The question under consideration here is whether it is possible to join two events in the space-time by a time-like geodesic if they are joined by a geodesic of the reference frame connection that has a time-like initial vector. This question is interpreted as whether an event belongs to the proper future of another event in the space-time in case it is so in the reference frame. For reference frames of two special types some geometric conditions are found under which the answer is positive.

Application of the Wavelet Transform with a Piecewise Linear Basis to the Evaluation of the Hankel Transform

A method for computing the Hankel transform is proposed whereby the letter is reduced to a sum by representing the integrand as a smooth function times a Bessel function. The smooth function is replaced by its wavelet decomposition with a basis such that its scalar product with the Bessel function is calculated analytically. The result is represented as a series, with the coefficients strongly depending on the local behavior of the function being transformed. The application of the method is demonstrated by an example illustrated with plots.
